How would you translate 'it was better than i expected' into spanish?

Answer 1

'era mejor que esperé'

Answer 2

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. You, as the speaker, can select between the Preterit (that GuruBlue gave you) or the Imperfect:

Era mejor de lo que esperé (or esperaba) = I did expect or I was expecting.
